BRIGHT ERA OF
OREGON IS SEEN
President Campbell of the U. of O.
addreaaed tbe chamber of commerce
forum at the Hotel Mod ford this noon
on Oregon and Its future develop
ment. Mr. Catnpbeira talk waa or aa
optimistic and tumorous nature,
containing Interesting information.
Tbe speaker declared the people of
Oregon face an incomparable period
of prosperity, lie likened the stste
to a great private estate and empha-
stied the fact that Inventory of our
resources, such as limner, water
power, climatic diversities and agrl-
cultursl advantages, should be taken
ss the first step in the development
of the state. After a partial reau-
tatlon of resources had been gained
people will be secured to develop
them. They must he of the proper
calibre and must Toe; In BUfflclenl
numbers.
The education of the citizens snd
the development of their intelligence
was tne third step mentioned snd
the final and Supreme Step for the
success of the development which
Mr. Campbell outlined was the devel
opment of a close ro-operatton of all
oraanuauons ana inaivmuaie m me
i - i .9.... . . .
stste and tho production of a state
self-consciousness or pride. Mr.
Campbell Illustrated the great ad
vantage of education and especially
of higher education In the develop-
ment of a state in the matter of ss-
sessed valuation and reduction of
taxes. As examples of this high de
velopment and low tax rate he cited
Michigan and Massachusetts.
He ststed that the number of stu
dents attending the state I'niverslty
and the state agricultural college had
increased more than 33 1-3 per cent
during the past two years and that
the recent mlllage tax would not pro
vide sufficiently wlthiu tha next year
or two. Thst a great problem must
be met in the solution of caring prop
erly for the flood of young men and
women seeking an educstlon at our
state institutions of higher learning
and that a satisfactory solution bad
not yet been evolved. lie stated that
Oregon, Iowa and Idaho were practi
cality tied for first place In the mat
ter of lack of Illiteracy, less than one
per cent of the population In each of
those three states being usable to
read and write. However in order
to support this enviable record pro
vision must he made for the installa
tion of more complete and larger edu
cational facilities. Endowments, and
persons! contributions have, up to
date, been small, but recently the Uni-
verslty has received several valuable
and helpful gifts from public spirited
citizens.
Coming back to the final point In
the development program Mr. Camp
bell expressed his favorable opinion
of the chsmber of commerce and his
belief that a state chamber of com
merce comprising all of the chambers
in the state would be one of thn larg
est stimulating factors tn securing
cooperation that could be imagined.
He stated that human nature would
generally be found to be all rlr?ht it

operation was to moot everythlnn
